Global Arts Live Presents
KOTOKO BRASS
Featuring FEATURING MOHAMMED ALIDU
Standing room only and limited table seating
Inspired by the traditional drum rhythms of Ghana, Kotoko Brass creates a unique, joyful, and improvisational style of West African dance music described by the Boston Globe as “propulsive, infectious party music.” Mohammed Alidu is a celebrated singer and percussionist from the Dagomba tradition of Tamale, Ghana, born into a thousand-year-old lineage of talking-drum artists. Kotoko Brass and Mohammed Alidu, accompanied by world class Ghanaian dancers Maltiti Sadik and Saeed Kuubetesuri, celebrate the release of their collaborative new album with an evening of high-energy, percussion-fueled originals.
